Areca ARC-1280ML connected to 12 Samsung HD154UI 1.5TB drives. These drives are configured in two arrays; a RAID-10 of 4 and a RAID-6 of 8.

Before I rebooted the system, I verified that both arrays were showing "healthy". Upon reboot, the BIOS declared only 1 array. In windows using the web console, it shows all the other drives, but shows them as "free" (ie. unassigned), and only gives me my RAID-10.

Areca's website isn't particularly useful, and some Googling didn't get very far. I see an option to create an array without initializing the disks, which might do the trick, but I'd love to hear from someone with experience with this.

Thanks.
 
Sometimes the controller only wants to do one raid array per reboot.

Try redoing the Raid array again, then reboot.

Card isn't real clear on supporting Raid 6:
"RAID level 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6 (if RAID 6 engine supported) and JBOD"

Perhaps 7 doesn't support Raid 6???
 
(if RAID 6 engine supported)

I've been trying to figure out what this means, but, no joy...
